I am making my ofrenda for Frida Kahlo because she was a great artist. She painted over 143 paintings, 53 of which are self-portraits. Her leg had to be amputated because of gangrene resulting from a bus accident. She was married to the famous muralist Diego Rivera. She was a Tomboy, liked to dress in men’s clothes and she was bisexual. Her paintings frequently had monkeys in them. Like me, she loved animals: I have two cats and she had dogs, cats, a peacock and a couple of monkeys.
